Theologian Harry Nilsson: God and poo-poo in the yard

"He goes and makes

the planet blue

And all the thanks he

gets from you

Is, 'Look at all that poo poo

In the yard!'"-Harry Nilsson, "Good for God"

One of many songs that could be included in his theological canon/cannon, beginning with "I Guess The Lord Must Be in New York City," and scattered throughout his career. Of course, "(I Can't Live if Living is) Without You" (sometimes known as "Ken Lee")
can be sung in church straight up as a passionate worship song.

Some even

say his "Jesus Christ, You're Tall" is not (just) a throwaway song taking the Lord's name in vain, but an attempt at prayer..

Dumb disclaimer:

It should go without saying...but i wouldn't want it to... that since this blog is a Spiritaneous place to throw out thoughts/feelings/articles "in process," it does not represent any of the fine institutions you see by my profile that I am affiliated with (Heck, it may not even represent me! (:........). The blog is merely an attempt to subvert subversion and "push toward the unobvious" (Thanks, Tim N. for that phrase) on the six hot topics listed at the top of the page....Welcome, engage it, and don't be offended (for the wrong reason, anyway!)
